Suck sometimes. Today, for instance, my landlord requests that my roommate or I be home between 1 and 3pm so the pest guy can come. Now, I am pumped the pest guy is coming, I hate cockroaches more than anything, but when I give up taking any sub jobs (including subbing for am elementary art teacher, my dream job) so that I can make sure somebody is here and then NOBODY shows, I’m a little aggitated. I am unemployed! I make nothing and am trying to sub to make school connections, please don’t fuck with me or at least try to be considerate of your tenants when you request them to be home.
I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it just seems to be the attitute with our landlord. Very nonchalant about everything. Like how she was supposed to have our carpets cleaned and after rounds of emails and 6 months later it still hasn’t happened or like how it took 2-3 weeks for her to get around to fixing our running toilet that was costing us about $100 extra a month in utilities.
Sorry for the vent, but do good landlords exist?! I have yet to encounter one that isn’t our to screw me over and it’s rather disheartening. I am a good tenant. I am clean and responsible and take care of the space I live in, don’t I deserve equal respect?
